Instructions
-
Prepare the Mold: Start by choosing a small rectangular or square mold. Line it with parchment paper, which will make it easier to remove the cake later.
-
-
Cookie Layering: Briefly dip each cookie in milk; you want to moisten them without soaking. Begin by laying down a base layer of cookies in the prepared mold.
-
Layering: Alternate layers of cookies and dulce de leche, repeating the process until all ingredients are used. If any cookies break, simply reposition them as you layer; the dulce de leche will hide any imperfections.
-
Chill: Once assembled, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
-
Decorate: When ready to serve, gently remove the cake from the mold. You can cover the top with additional dulce de leche and decorate the sides with crushed cookies, shredded coconut, or melted chocolate—let your creativity shine!
-
Serve: Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the delightful layers of flavor and texture in each bite.
This Torta de Galletas is sure to impress your friends and family, combining the creamy richness of dulce de leche with the satisfying crunch of cookies in a beautifully layered dessert. Perfect for gatherings, it’s a delightful way to end any meal!
